Jefferson City Tribune:-"The prohibition
lists crowded matters little too fast in Texas
and Tennessee, They demanded vote and
had their wishes complied with. If they are
wise they will not force an issue in Missouri
while iu full retreat from Texas and Ten
nessee. They may consider themselves very
fortunate if allowed to retreat unmolested."

of this county. There were quite number
of young men attending this school, among
them were, Perry CatrOn, Columbus Catron,
John Willis, James Burns, w. d. Lewis, and
two or three of the Jackson boys. Most of
them attended on horseback. A certain man
went by the college, who had the boldness to
cry out, "School- -butterl' The boys caught
him, and he agreed to leave it to Perry
Catron to say what should be done with him,
1t was no sooner said than the upright Judge
de- cded that he must be ducksd, which was
Immediately done. This incident was the
origin of the following poem. which was
landed me few days since by one of the
lumber. 1t is the desire of these, now mid.
lie aged men, that you publish this history,
nd the effusion flowing from the incident:-
DUCKING A GOOSE.
There was a fellow passed our school,
BY the way, he was an awful fool;
For he thought he d have little fun.
10 halloo ''School butter' and then 10 run.
But he had it at his own expense,
For our horses were saddled at the fence |
And we were soon upon their backs,
While he was quickly making tracks.
Away we went, our horses bounding. |
Our voices over the hills re-soundipg:
And we were quickly by his side
Although his cOWhide he manfuly pIied
Fll tell YOU what he walloped old Jane
As though he really was insane;
-Btit all OF this was of no avail,
For over the prairie we quickly sailed.
We carried him down to little pool
But a short distance from our school.
We ducked him where We broke the ice.
This he thought was not SO nice.
So home he went with all his might.
But soon returned in a better plight
He said that he was strongly armed,
But none of us were much alarmed.
He went to town on the next day
To hear what 4 LAWYER would have to saw
